About This Feature

Overview

Add Shortcut to is a document management feature for multidimensional tables in WPS Office for macOS. It lets you add the current table to a selected cloud storage path as a shortcut for faster access.

This feature helps you:

  • place frequently used multidimensional tables in easier-to-reach locations,
  • organize shortcut entries by project or team folder,
  • keep the original file unchanged while improving access efficiency.

It is useful when you open the same multidimensional table often, want to organize access points by folder, or need a faster way to locate commonly used tables in cloud storage.
